Data anomaly detected in congressional system: Congressman Tom Kean Jr. votes for bill that doesn't exist
A routine audit of the House of Representatives' digital voting ledger has uncovered a glitch in the matrix. Records show Congressman Tom Kean Jr. cast a yea vote on H.R. 9032, the "Zero Emissions Infrastructure Act"—a bill that was never introduced, never debated, and does not appear in any committee transcript. The timestamp for his vote is logged at 11:47 PM on a Sunday, when the chamber was officially dark. Capitol IT staff are baffled, as the entry is sandwiched between two perfectly normal votes from last Tuesday. Some are calling it a ghost vote; others, a predictive anomaly. Rep. Kean's office has not commented, but a staffer was overheard muttering, "That bill isn't due for another three months."
